Call to Action

​
 Until the coronavirus crisis of March 2020, 63% of Americans surveyed knew little or nothing about Lupus.  As a resullt of COVID patients being treated with hydroxychloroquine, (our primary medication) the world began to discuss Lupus and the impact of this drug on patients. As a community, we can join forces to raise awareness and support those living wth lupus.  With increased awareness and advocacy, we can change the trajectory of this disease.  By reciting this pledge, we are leaping forward to improve the health outcomes of people who are impacted by lupus.

I ​PLEDGE TO:

  • Continue to educate myself about the signs and symptoms of lupus;
  • Raise awareness in my community about lupus;
  • ​Encourage others to talk to their healthcare providers; ​
  • Advocate for the improvement of screening and treatment for lupus
  • Support my brothers and sisters living with lupus to have a positive influence on their well-being; and
  • Find pathways of partnership and service with the local organization to build resources for those living with lupus
